I totally agree with you, the trailer felt really off, there was no oomph to it, I remember seeing the first Kick Ass trailer and thinking ‘man i need to see this now!’
This one kind of left me nuke warm, which in an age of many trailers being better than the actual movies they are advertising, is pretty hard to do

Will defo be seeing this but I’m not as thrilled, the green screen was bad, reminded me of the football stadium scene in TDKR which didn’t improve once the movie was released

It depends on how old you are… Anyway. I am a big fan of little Miss Moretz, I honestly think she’s the best young actor/actress in Hollywood. She made Kick-Ass more memorable than it should have been. Kick-Ass made it cool for me to laugh when my young nephews used the “f” word. Funniest thing ever!!!

I have to agree. People bring up those same movies every time I say the same thing you did, but honestly, he didn’t do too much acting in those movies either… He does seem to be taking on a different role this time around. Which is cool…

I like that Jim Carrey is playing a “character” rather than just another version of Ace Ventura. However, Im not sure how I feel about his take on Colonel Stars and Stripes. I recently re-read the comic, and I guess I pictured him as more of a gruff,mysterious,soft spoken man. Not a lunatic like Jim Carrey seems to be protraying him as.

I’m going to echo the sentiment of most everybody else here, that trailer won me over and I’m shocked Jim Carrey actually looks like he’s acting here. I wasn’t nuts about the first Kick Ass (seemed silly to me) but this one looks kind of interesting. Like maybe it has more to offer than just “shock value” violence and swearing. Then again, I guess the trade-off would be the loss of a director with a proven track record. I guess we’ll just have to see.

I liked the trailer but I’m still on the fence about this one.
I thought Kick Ass was brilliant mostly because it was such a surprise. In all honesty who really expected that? But the stars aligned and we got a pretty great film.
So what are the chances of that happening again because we kind of know what to expect this time?
I hope I’m wrong and Kick Ass 2 feels as fresh and is full of surprises like part 1. I’ll be happy if I am. But I’m still not sure.

This looks good! Even with the crazy violence I think the comics are great. This looks to stay pretty true to the source material. Jim Carrey stole the show for me. Chloe is a close 2nd. I look forward to this one indeed.

I will say that i think the trailer looks promising and like it will be a good time i wasn’t a big fan of the first one buts thats just because it wasn’t really my thing, this looks like it will entertain me more though i’m all in

Jim Carrey looks and sounds fantastic. I love how he sounds different from almost every single other role he does (Riddler, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, etc.) and it looks like he really kills it here. With this and Burt Wonderstone, it looks like Mr. Carrey is finally back!

Rest of the trailer looks pretty awesome. My only gripe, which is unavoidable, is that Chloe Moretz looks too old now. The whole appeal of her character in Kick-Ass was that she was an 11-year-old that looked sweet and innocent but stabbed people with giant swords and dropped the c-bomb casually. She still looks bad-ass, but her character seems to be completely different. Now she’s a teenage girl who looks hot but can kick your ass. Totally different idea, but maybe I’m just worrying too much.

Correct me if I’m wrong because I haven’t seen the movie in a while but maybe the high school has a middle school inside it so she wasn’t entering as a freshman but she was entering as a 6th grader or something. Regarding Kick-Ass there was a scene with him walking the halls of school with Clark Duke so either he was 14 during the first movie or like you said earlier, that was a flashback. I don’t think his age was stated in the first movie so if you can buy a 23 year old Tom Welling playing a 14 year old Clark Kent on Smallville, hopefully you can accept that Dave was 14 back then hehe.

What I think he means by calling it the “Dark Knight chapter” is that Kick-Ass 2 will be darker and perhaps even better than the first Kick-Ass, similar to how the Dark Knight was better than Batman Begins (IMO). Also, Heath Ledger gave a surprising performance as the Joker so Jim Carrey will perhaps give a surprising performance in Kick-Ass 2. I’m not trying to speak for Kofi but it’s just my opinion about his wording.

Seems like they’re keeping everything we love about the first one and amplifying it here. They’re also doing the Christopher Nolan “What is a superhero and do we really need superheroes or do we need to be superheroes?” thing, but with more profanity.

‘Kick-Ass 2’ Red-Band Trailer Offers More Outrageous Violence & Humor

Kick-Ass, Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s outrageous superhero origin satire, became a cult-hit movie back in 2010, helping to propel the entire franchise to a whole new level. This resulted in Millar and Romita returning to the comic book page for a sequel series, Kick-Ass 2, which in turn inspired the sequel film. also titled Kick-Ass 2.

In what is sure to be referred to as the ‘Dark Knight chapter’ of the Kick-Ass trilogy, Dave Lizewski (Johnson) and Mindy Macready (Moretz) continue to train as crimfighters Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl (respectively), while also trying to acclimate to normal high school life. In the larger scope of things, their stand against crime has inspired a legion of new heroes like Colonel Stars and Stripes (Carrey) and Doctor Gravity (Faison).

However, that rise of good comes at the price of a surge in evil. When Chris D’Amico (Mintz-Plasse) adopts the alter-ego of the villainous “Motherfu#@er” as vengeance for Kick-Ass slaying his father, Dave and Mindy find themselves being hunted by freaks and maniacs – and soon, the cops as well.

Chloe Moretz as Hit-Girl in ‘Kick-Ass 2’

The biggest point of concern regarding Kick-Ass 2 was Kick-Ass 1 writer/director Matthew Vaughn departing the sequel to work on X-Men: Days of Future Past (his sequel to First Class). Ironically enough Vaughn departed that X-Men sequel film as well, but he left Kick-Ass 2 in the hands of Jeff Wadlow, who has had middling success writing and directing films like Cry_Wolf and Never Back Down.

For his part, Wadlow has apparently captured the acerbic tone of the Kick-Ass world pretty well in the humor bits, while adding his own stylistic flare to the action sequences (such as Mindy saving Dave from that van speeding down the highway). While the Kick-Ass 2 comic book contained some controversial scenes of intense violence, it seems this red-band trailer is content on promoting the foul language and some dirty jokes.

In other words: you’ll probably have to pay admission price to see the full depths of gruesome.
